THREE WAYS TO DO IT.
By KATE GANNETT WELLS.
Howard Armstrong;, sentimentally
Inclined from hia youth, was suddenly
free, owing to the death of his moth
er, to invest In a home of his own.
Thus it chanced that one summer day
when apparently he was examining
the hotel register at Pinehurst he was
In reality scanning a young girl who
waited for her mall.
"Best record made this season," ob
served the clerk Impersonally, but
pointing to the name of Miss Stuyve
satit on the open page. -
Therefofe Armstrong decided to
Join the golf club, and though piqued
by Miss Stuyvesant's unconcern of
him as a new member, he yet fell in
love with her as she strode over the
links. He entered the tournament,
and was drawn to play with her. In
timacy begun on a golf basis forth
with proceeded into the more subtle
ways of moonlight seances. He even
lent her a book. She analyzed Its
contents without referring to Its mar
ginal notes In his handwriting. So
he put it In the Are. "Do you know
what I did with it?" he asked her.
"Keep It for the next girl; golf Is
lots better than books," she answered,
warding off the Implied tenderness In
his tone.
Then, of course, Armstrong decided
to offer himself in golf terms, and
having arranged his formula, took
her to drive. "There are other than
golf prizes to be won by you," be be
gan. "What are they? I'll go lb for
them."
"Myself." As he uttered the word
Its absurdity occurred to him, and let
ting his horse go at full speed he
ejaculated, "I didn't mean that, you
were the prize I wanted to win." The
torse tore down the steep hill.
"Hold him In, can't you, you boy!"
etclalmed Miss Stuyvesant. Seizing
the reins she drew in the animal.
As it walked slowly up another hill
'Armstrong recovered. "I beg your
pardon, but mother never let ma aBk
anybody, and I didn't know how;
can t you try to like me?" he urged,
meaning to catch hold of her hands
instead of the reins. The horse
started afresh.
"Hold him in," she ordered.
"Yes, if you will like me; if you
don't, 1 shall kill myself."
For a moment it seemed to Miss
Stuyvesant very terrible to be re
sponsible for another's life or death,
et, as her sense of Justice made her
Indignantly decline to accept either,
the steed plunged forward and would
not be held In before reaching the
hotel.
Consequently Armstrong left it, on
the pretense of letters calling hira to
Atlantic City. There he recovered
from his wounded vanity through the
wiles of a maiden who, Judging hlra
to be a dude pessimist, considered
him fair game either for bor mischief
r her sympathy.
"Will you not Join in our Sunday
singing?" she entreated demurely.
Whereupon Armstrong quickly
found that from the piano to the
piazza was but a short distance to a
blighted being and an enterprising
maiden, and that life appeared cheer
ier after two weeks of golf talk. "Do
you believe that love spring up in
the heart at the sound of a voice?"
h inquired of Mist Bruce one day
when they were sitting together at
"e piano.
"Try A," the replied, striking the
note on the keyboard.
"I first fell la love with your voice
nd then with yourself," he contin
ued languidly.
"A man's Just saying he loves a
Jill is not very definite nowadays."
"Then In plain English, will you
marry me?"
She ran her fingers lightly over the
ikeys, which he tried In vain to pre
vent. "You do me too much honor;
1 m greatly surprised; but I can't for
'o reasons. First, because you are
yourself; second, because I was en
gaged to-day after breakfast; it is to
b announced at lunch; won't you
congratulate me?"
"After you have destroyed my faith
In womankind?"
"Say sex, Mr. Armstrong; It Is a
commoner term," and bowing, she
left the room by one door and he by
ianoth with vi rt If- A i emit -w that mwa
!way the inwardness of the seen to
the waitresses who bad fatten peeking
In at the window.
' Again did Armstrong resort ta the
rise of letters recelevd as excuse for
'bis Immediate departure U Long Isl
and. "I never had an offer; f won
der how t should behave if such an
event happened to me," he overheard
one girl saying to another the morn
ing after his arrival. Instantly Arm
strong resolved she should have the
opportunity of knowing. Assiduous
ly he cultivated her acquaintance
until she was goaded Into asking him
what he had ever done.
"Nothing much; only taking care
of mother. What I shall do depends
on you."
"Do you mean you want to marry
me?"
Delighted at her freshness he broke
forth Into ardent words.
"Oh don't, Mr. Armstrong," she
Interrupted; "really I couldn't. You
see, this Is my first offer, so you
won't be vexed at my question, and I
don't know how men do it. I'm sorry
if you care, but I'm going to college
and to have a career, for, when the
four years are over, there will be
three In the medical school and I
couldn't study well if I were In
love."
"Then you do care for me?"
"No, really I don't care a bit. You
are very nice, but not the kind of
man a college graduate wants. You
don't mind, do you?"
"Yes, I do; but mother always told
me never to marry a college girl;
frivolous girls, she said, made better
wives."
"Good morning, Mr. Armstrong."
"Good morning, Miss Raymond."
Six months later Armstrong's
fiancee showed htm a brooch she had
received from three of her college
friends. It was a golf stick resting
on a bar of music with the college de
vice below.
"Confound Buch bad taste," mut
tered Armstrong, angrily, remember
Ing that the three girls to whom he
had offered himself were at Psyche
College. Could they have told each'
other of his futile endeavors? Bos

EARNING A IlIO SALARY.
Story Told About General Manager
Frank Hedley, of the Interborougli.
"How does a high salaried man
earn his pay?" asks a writer in Sys
tem, and proceeds to answer his own
question with the following incident:
"Some time ago Frank Hedley, the
general manager of the Interborough,
was waiting on a subway station
platform. A train drew in with the
power on, reached the stop signal and
came to a sudden halt, Jolting the
passengers and straining the machin
ery. The incident gave him an idea.
"He went to a manufacturer ot
time clocks and gave an order for an
experimental timepiece that would re
cord elapsed time during which elec
tric power was being used by the In
terborough trains. The manufactur
er in due time produced a small de
vice that could be attached to the
mechanism in the motorman's box In
such rt way that the power could be
turned on only after the time clock
had been unlocked by the motorman's
special key and the clock set In operation.
"When the power was shut off the
clock would record the exact moment.
By this means the exact number of
hours, minutes and seconds, during
which that motorman consumed elec
trie current was automatically re
corded and a special device printed
the total elapsed, time during the
day's run.
"The device was attached to the
motormen's control boxes in all the
trains on one line and experimented
with for a month. Instructions were
Issued to the motormen to coast into
the stations by turning off the power
as far distant from the stopping place
as possible and come to a gradual halt
after running some rods by the force
of momentum. Rewards were offered
to the men whose records showed the
most economical use of electric power.
"At the end of the month the engi
neer of the line reported a reduction
of over fifteen per cent, in the power
consumed. The individual records ot
the men showed a reduction ranging
from ten per cent, to forty per cent,
over the amount of power used pre
viously. Time clocks have been or
dered for the other Interborough
lines.
"It may be assumed that the same
saving In power will be effected. The
Interborough's annual coal bill for
producing electric current Is $2,800,.
000, A saving ot fifteen per cent,
means a saving of $294,000 a year on
this Item alone to say nothing of the
saving on wear and tear of machinery.
The sum is considerably larger than
Frank Hedley's salary."
Antiquity of Shorthand.
Shorthand Is apt to be lookel upon
as an essentially modern art. The
predecessors ot Pitman, Byrom, In the
eighteenth century; Mason, In the sev
enteenthare dim and distant figures
beyond which it seems useless to ven
ture. Cicero dictated his orations to
to his freedman, T. Tullius Tiro, and
was inconsolable when temporarily
deprived of his- services. He com
plained in a letter to a friend that
while "Tiro takes down whole phrases
In a few signs, Splntharus (his pro
visional substitute) only writes in syl
lables." We 'need not, however, sup
pose . that the "notae Tlronianae"
were actually invented by the freed
man in question. As M. Guenln points
out, the Romans created very few ot
the-arts of peace, contenting them
selves, as a rule, by copying from the
Greeks. M. Guenln, however, Indi
cates the banks ot the Nile as the
cradle of the art. T. P.'s Weekly.

Middlings Need FnsilMge.
In some foedlng experiments it was

Shelter In the Pasture.
Have some shelter In the pasture
which the cattle can seek if storm

cows especially suffer from exposure
to the cold rains which are common
at this season, and their dlscomfor'
is a dead loss to their owner. Farm

Hotter Cows.
As to better cows, there is just one
way to get them. That Is to get good
sires, to test the cows for dairy work,
to get rid of the poor ones and save
calves only from those that pay their
way. Doing this we can soon have as
good dairy herds as are to be found
anywhere. We have a few of them
now, but all too few. Farmers'

Skimmed Milk.
Pigs fed on skimmed milk, cither
iweet or sour, give good satisfaction,
although cure should be taken not to
change from one to tho other. Pigs

to the sweet, and in cither case grain
foods should be fed with it Id order

hogs uround $9 per 100 pounds at the
home market, It is easy to figure the
profits in the business. The farmer
who sticks to his chosen line of farm

Farmer's Cows.
On the average farm where It Is
not the Intention to do extensive
dairy work, we find many cows thnt
are cross-bred animals. They have
been bred w'ith the Idea of producing
a dual purpose; or farmer's cows, as
they are sometimes called. These
cows are usually a cross between
lome beef breed and a breed of dairy
qualities, and as a result we have
neither, but a mongrel whose good
qualities are hard to discover. We
have a cow that not only does not pro
duce enough milk and butter to pay
for the care and feed she receives,
but produces a calf that does not de
velop sufficiently to pay for the inilk
and the feed it receives. There have
been cows that produced a fair
amount ot milk and butter, whose
calves were better than the average
dairy calf, but It must bo understood
that these are exceptions and are hard
to find. There are other points, too,
that are against these cows doing
their best. The feed and care many
receive quite frequently consists only
of pasture In summer and corn, hay,
straw and cornstalks in winter. The
milking is done out of doors most ot
the year and the cows are only stabled
during the severest weather. Farm

combination all that Is necessary is to
thrust the handle of the comb into
the handle of the brush and one Im

raking a horse with the currycomb
and going over him again with the
brush, the whole operation can be
performed with one stroke by passing
the brush portion of the new imple
ment over the path left by the preced
ing stroke of the comb when the next

Indian Runner Ducks.
A more profitable kind of poultry
than the Indian Runner Ducks would
be hard to find. They were supposed
to have been imported from India to
England, where they aro great favor
ites with the poultry raisers; they
were first bred in tho United States
about fifteen years ago, and have be
come such a favorite with .the poultry
raisers that for the past few years
eggs and stock are in such demand
that the breders can't fill the demands
made on them for stock and eggs.
They are not large, weighing from
.four to five pounds. But such a sight,
to see a flock of well fed Indian Run
ners, their fawn and white markings,
erect carriage, make them admired by
all. But best ot all their egg pro
ducing qualities, laying every month
In the year. By culling and keeping
best layers we have now a strain that
are great egg producers. In the year
of 1909 ours laid eggs every month;
not so many eggs were laid through
July and August, whila moulting, as
other months, but in months ot De
cember and when from five to ten
bolow zero our laid well. Just think
of going out and picking up eggs ot
mornings out . of snow. And for
standard requirements we now have
them, duck and drake, with only fawn
and white markings, no brown or pen
ciling on duck or green or black head
markings on drake. Ours last year
made us an average of $7 per head
for eggs alone from breeding stock,
not counting stock sold. The eggs are
very fertile. We have made ship
ments and have had reports of every
egg hatching. Several breeders re
port their flock laying an average of
more than 200 eggs and a tew 160
eggs each. The eggs are flue for
table use; do not have the stroug
flavor common to old-fashioned duck

There is much less worry attached
to dick raising than to other branches

A pen of eighteen, fifteen duck and,
three drakes, will furnish an abun
dance of eggs. They will almost all
give a strong duckling when wel
cared for and properly mated.
Another experiment showed that
the average duckling required twenty
five cents' worth ot feed to prepare
him for market. Those in question
were sold for fifty cents each; so o
course there was good profit in them.
The Pekin seems to be the favorite
market duck, and holds its own well,
but the Indian Runner is the breed to

they will soon show you good results.
The profit Is quick, so one Is able
to use the money tor feeding later
hatches of ducks nr fnr chirks. Tha
' earliest ducks bring the best prices,
but there is a fair profit In the later
ones, where one will furnish the feed.
Unless you are situated where you
can procure reasonably good eggs
whenever you wish them, it Is much
better to have a pen of breeders.
Of late years the domand tor ducks
has Increased greatly. That this In
crease will continue Is a fact not to
be doubted, so it will be a wise in
vestment to procure several sittings
of duck eggs, selecting the best ot
the ducks for next season's breeding
pen, and procuring good drakes In
January to mate. This, of course, 11
conditions allow of your raising
ducks.
Where one is growing exclusively
for market, it seems there Is more
profit in ducks than chicks; some ex.
perlments where both chicks and
ducklings were taken at the same ag
and fed the same ration, show that
tho ducklings cost 1.9 cents a pound
This is for a pound gain; the chlckd
show a pound gain, cost 44 cents;
the ducklings were also ready foi
market, while tho chicks were yet too
small. It Is almost unbelievable the
rapid gain that hearty ducklings will
make when fed right.

Bride's Slmrp of a Wedding.
Often there Beems doubt In thp
minds of a young couple to be mar

The bride pays for the Invitations and

nnd the gifts to bridesmaids.
The bridegroom pays for his own

unseamed edges in a curve, and
binds them to form a neck, adding a
pretty edge of imitation lace, half an

opening the hanger on which the
gown Is put will slip; the neck and
bottom edges of the cover are then
closed by meaiiB of ball and socket

they continued obstinate. Af'ei
three months more, he should caill

marry them, and let them take this

forbid them the hope of relief. I

The Neatly Dressed Woman.
There is an exquisite charm about
a neatly dressed woman.' She does
not wear her hair loose, as If it is just
about to fall on her shoulders. Her
gloves are not ripped at the scams,
nor any buttons missing from her
boots. Her veil does not reveal a
bole over the chin, nor does the bind
ing ot her skirt show ragged in places.
Not many women show their tidi
ness in these details, but the well ' ear
groomed woman considers that neg
lect in these little things is full of
shame to womankind. Note the well
dressed tailor built woman. Her
cloth gown fits her without a crease,
and there is neither speck nor spot on
It. Her linen collar and cuffs are
snowy white, and remain properly
fixed in their places. Her gloves do
not wrinkle, but button smoothly over
her wrists. Her shoes are dainty and
polished. Her bonnet or bat is pinned
on straight, and ber hair Is neatness
Itself. She is the picture ot delicate
finish and wholesome order. Would

How to Make and Keep Friend.
Some natures are more capable of
easily forming friendships than oth
ers. Real friends are scarce, and once
a real friend is found, be or she is
worth keeping. Acquaintanceship is
the apprenticeship of true friends, but
many acqualntancescan never become
anythlug 'else, the balance of friend
ship finds them wanting. t
The best way to retain a friend Is
to never
ness privacy
or affection to Impose on your friend's
time or arrangements. Always give
and take, your peculiarities sre prob
ably as disagreeable to your frleud as
bis or. bers are to you. Endure them,
and so avoid bickerings.
Never be led by gossip about what
your friend has said about you. If it
hurts your feelings, have it out fairly
and squarely. Above all, keep confi
dences inviolate, nothing breeds doubt !
